Tonight on the season four debut of Lucha Underground, we find out whatever happened to Lucha Underground owner Dario Cueto after last season's finale when he was shot and left for dead in the temple by an agent! Plus, Pentagon Dark defends his Lucha Underground Championship to kick off the season four debut of Lucha Underground!

Recap of season 3.

At the funeral of Dario Cueto, the agent who shot Cueto and an old man related to Dario named Antonio who looks just like Dario stand. The agent says no one but them came and Antonio says the Cuetos were always better at making enemies and the agent tells Antonio that he can no longer use the temple in Boyle Heights. Antonio says that as long as the sacred Aztec seal is in the middle of the ring, the temple can be anywhere and he has an old ice house where he used to run shows. Antonio says it will be his new temple. The agent tells Antonio to remember that the wrestling promotion is just a cover and remember the objective, not making mistakes his son made. Antonio says his son made many mistakes, none of which he plans on repeating. The agent says that Dario called Antonio with his dying breath and the agent says it was cold for Dario to call the man who ordered his hit. Antonio says Dario was always the weak one and that is why the order picked his other son to be a god. The agent says the roster and Matanza are waiting and tells Antonio to be waiting because their friend in the limo will be coming for war before he knows it. Antonio takes Matanza's key off Dario and closes the casket.

We are on tape from Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, Calif. Matt Striker and Vampiro have the call for this week.

Melissa Santos calls for a ten-bell salute in a ceremony to Dario Cueto, but Antonio Cueto cuts it off and says the only thing colder than this house is the crowd. Cueto limps to the ring with his cane and introduces himself as the new owner, knocking over the portrait of Dario. Cueto says tonight, chances are they will crown a new Lucha Underground Championship because Pentagon Dark will defend the title in Aztec Warfare next.

Winner by pinfall and STILL Lucha Underground Champion: Pentagon Dark

Rating: 3.25 out of 5 stars

While it wasn't as high on spots or anything too brutal as you'd expect from Aztec Warfare, it was a good and easy start to the season overall that makes sense from a television perspective. An easy way to debut new characters and motivations while establishing some rivalries all in one match, it was a fun enough start to the season. Not a prime match, but still can't miss to get some hints as to the direction of the show going forward.

Post-match, Penta breaks the arm of Martinez and Antonio Cueto congratulates Pentagon Dark. Cueto says Dario probably would have had him defend his title right here, right now, but he is a better promoter than his dead son ever was. Cueto promises a more violent match when Pentagon Dark defends next week against his only son, "The Monster" Matanza Cueto.

Overall, a fun, but safe start to the season. The Antonio Cueto storyline will probably get mixed reviews from some, considering it is the same actor as Dario Cueto in old man costume, but it is just as kitsch as anything else you'll see in wrestling and I'm at least interested to see if they can make it pay off. The new set was a nice change in scenery too. Not much given away in making the first show an hour-long match as far as the rest of the season goes, but nothing felt out of place.
